Chapter 273 Water-based pen refills and draft paper
Xiao Yingchun explained with a smile: "This medicine, you and the aunt will take one pill each during the four solar terms of the year, with the gold foil on the outside Take it together...it can take care of your body."
"Don't take it for children, and don't take it for young people. Just you and your uncle, take four pills a year, which is enough for two pills. It’s been over many years...”
Xiao Qigui realized later: “Is this medicine expensive?”
Xiao Yingchun waved his hand: “It was made by Uncle Ye’s Qing Yu Tang himself, and he gave it to me. It’s very cheap when you buy it, just take it and eat it.”
Xiao Yingchun is never stingy with people who treat him sincerely.
Xiao Qigui wonders how expensive a pill can be? Without thinking too much, I just carried it back in a bag and put it on the dining table.
My daughter-in-law, Sun Lihua, saw a bag of things and looked through it curiously. When she saw clearly what it was, she was shocked!
"Dad, where did you buy so many Angong Niuhuang Pills? Or from Qingyutang?"
Xiao Qigui was confused: "Yingchun gave them to me, what's wrong?"
"Give it? Give it so much?! Oh my God..."
Sun Lihua couldn't believe it. She took it out one by one and placed it neatly in a 4*5 rectangle on the table.
“Do you know how difficult it is to buy this medicine now?”
“My uncle wants to buy this medicine, but he hasn’t bought it yet! I see who he was asking in the family group before You can buy it."
"Is Yingchun really getting rich? Give him twenty as a gift!"
When he heard this, he said, "How about that? Why don't you give him two boxes?"
Sun Lihua looked at her father-in-law like a fool: "Dad, do you know what you are talking about?"
"This medicine is so expensive! One thousand yuan! You just give it away!"
Xiao Qigui was so frightened that his eyes widened: "What?"
Sun Lihua picked up a box: "This box only contains one!"
"This one costs only a thousand yuan!"
"You can't buy it yet!"
Xiao Qigui:! ! !
He really didn’t expect that a pill would cost a thousand yuan? !
Are you selling gold? !
Looking at the twenty pills neatly arranged in a rectangle by his daughter-in-law, Xiao Qigui swallowed his saliva several times before saying: "No, this medicine must be sent back!"
Sun Lihua was stunned. Zhi: "Why?"
"She just gave it to such an expensive thing..." Xiao Qigui felt that he shouldn't take it.
Twenty thousand yuan!
It happened that the aunt also heard the noise and came out. After hearing Xiao Qigui talk about what happened, she also felt that it should not be taken.
"You just give someone a can of Laba porridge, and they give you 20,000 yuan of medicine, and you have the nerve to take it back?"
"Send it back quickly!"
"I don't I know it's so expensive..." Xiao Qigui put the Angong Niuhuang Pills back into the bag and prepared to send them back the next day.
He rambled on about what Xiao Yingchun said when he asked Xiao Yingchun about his New Year arrangements today.
"It's not easy for this child... How can we get such an expensive thing from her..."
Sun Lihua hurriedly grabbed her father-in-law: "Dad, wait a minute..."
Xiao Qigui looked at his daughter-in-law with disapproval in his eyes: "What? You want it?"
Sun Lihua waved her hands quickly: "Dad, what did you say? I think so. ..."
Sun Lihua explained.
If Xiao Yingchun was "kept" now, then she would definitely not be short of money, and she would not take it seriously if she gave it away.
"If you send it back to her now, she may not cherish it. She might give it to someone else once it changes hands. You might as well keep it for her."
"In case she needs it in the future, you If you give it back to her, it can help. "
When something happens to Xiao Yingchun, when life is hard, these things will become valuable.
“You don’t know, this Angong Niuhuang Pill has become more valuable after being stored for a long time!”
“Someone sold Angong Niuhuang Pill in 1993 before and took a photo. There are more than ten thousand!”
Xiao Qigui’s eyes widened: This is too scary! He has never heard of it!
After hearing what her daughter-in-law said, the aunt nodded slowly.
"If you ask me, Lihua's words make sense. Even if the salary she pays us is so high, we should think about it for her..."
"We will keep it for her and use it for the rest of our lives. Not the best.”
"If it is useful to us one day, we will give it back to her in exchange for money, so that we can be worthy of her care and worthy of her parents..."
The family made an agreement, and Xiao Qigui carefully placed the Angong Niuhuang Pills were wrapped several times in plastic bags and stored in the bottom corner of the cabinet...
Xiao Yingchun knew nothing about this and was following Fu Chenan to load the stationery shop next to Yingchun Academy. .
The four treasures of the study are things that scholars cannot live without.
With the successful opening of Yingchun Academy, more and more people are studying and learning crafts there, and the sales of the Four Treasures of the Study have also increased.
Because most of them are children of ordinary people, their expenses for pens, ink, paper and inkstones are a heavy burden.
A set of the cheapest Four Treasures of the Study costs several taels of silver, and many ordinary people cannot afford this money.
After Xiao Yingchun heard Fu Chenan talk about it, he thought of water-based pens and draft paper.
These two things are super cheap on Pinxixi.
A hundred refills only cost nine yuan. If you want more, it can be even cheaper.
Two thousand pages of draft paper only cost more than 11 yuan.
It would be perfect to give it to students sent to ordinary people’s homes!
For ordinary people who come to learn crafts, the cultural class is just a literacy class, and they can't write many words every day.
A pen refill worth ten cents is enough for them to use for several days.
The same goes for draft paper. They save on it. A 100-page draft book costs fifty cents, which is enough for them to use for a year.
The pen and ink shop opened next to Yingchun Academy. As soon as this novel thing was launched, everyone was shocked!
Is there a pen that automatically dispenses ink?
Why are the strokes in this writing so thin?
A word can be written very small, and it is not so paper-consuming.
What? The refill is too thin and difficult to hold?
Can't you just put a small bamboo tube on it?
You can be as thick as you want!
In addition to ordinary people, many wealthy young men and ladies from aristocratic families also bought it as a novelty.
No need to know, once you use it, everyone will agree.
Using this kind of pen, they no longer have to worry about uneven and irregular strokes due to poor control of strength. They can write horizontally and vertically casually.
In the house of Cui Chaoyong, the Minister of Household Affairs, several young masters who had just returned from school at Yingchun Academy usually showed their newly bought pen refills and draft paper to their father.
"Father, look at this, this paper... look at the words written on this..."
"This is only ten cents a piece!"
"This paper, a thick one, only costs fifty cents!"
As the children rushed to show off, Cui Chaoyong and his several adult sons were stunned.
It was also their first time seeing this thing.
The eldest son Cui Ziyao first asked the children to retreat, and then looked at his father inquiringly.
"Father, will our court promote this kind of pen and paper in the future?"
Cui Chaoyong thought not that simply: "...not necessarily."
The story of the old couple seeking death at the entrance of Chunshan Teahouse was widely spread by interested people. People said that the court was competing with the people for profit.
The business of pens, inks, paper and inkstones is not just a small profit, it is huge profits, and they are all controlled by big families.
If the imperial court used this kind of refill to replace brushes, ink and inkstones, it would have a great impact on the people in the entire production and sales line.
When the time comes, there will only be more people saying that the court is "competing with the people"...
